		</div><p>The so-called Islamic State says it has destroyed six archaeological pieces from the historic Syrian town of Palmyra after they were confiscated from a smuggler.</p>
<p>An IS statement said the six busts were found when the smuggler was stopped at a checkpoint.</p>
<p>The issue was referred to an Islamic court which ordered they be destroyed and the man be whipped.</p>
<p>Photographs released by the group showed IS fighters destroying the busts with large hammers.</p>
<p>The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it was unclear if the busts were authentic or if the militants destroyed fake busts as a cover for the IS group’s own antiquities smuggling.</p>
<p>In March, IS members in Iraq razed 3,000-year-old Nimrod and bulldozed 2,000-year-old Hatra – both Unesco world heritage sites.</p>
